The SNP to cut off the bottom half of classroom doors!

Anyway I have said my piece and genuinely have to go out for the rest of the day … not the usual GN get out clause !

No Lucca you are wrong. Look at the 5th or 6th comment down after the OP and Alegrias is off on one already "Get a life, honestly." I assume she was firing off at the OP.

Me too, theres no point more of us making fools of ourselves!

So can I be clear here. Are you saying lucca that I was personally ‘winding up’ Alegrias? I haven’t replied or made any reference to any of her posts. In fact I don’t even know what she said or what’s been going on. Perhaps you could explain? Would you also please quote on this thread any references that I have made re Algerias.

It's a pity that you took my post @ 11.09 on the 04.02.2022 so personally Maybee70 it didn't mention you, or anyone else, personally and so I'm quite surprised that it struck home with you as directly as it did. If you'd managed to read it properly, before requesting for it to be zapped, you'd have seen that it simply said: the majority of posters are perfectly capable of being appalled by major political news events, whilst still being able to enjoy the humour of nonsense such as this topic. But, if it was the closing sentence of that post that upset you, please know that it wasn't originally aimed at you personally; it was meant to be a general observation.

I did not request for it to be deleted. I was out for the rest of the afternoon. I did not assume that it was aimed solely at me. I did read the whole post. The last sentence was very unpleasant whoever it was aimed at or even if it was a generalisation. I repeat. I did NOT report it. You have jumped to a very wrong conclusion there.

Hey I’ll,take plenty of criticism but not a lack of sense of humour sorry !

I wasn’t objecting to the wholesale NS or SNP mocking, just what I perceived as unkindness to Alegrias.

Exactly, Lucca. That is what is bothering me.

But Marydoll, there was none before Alegrias said she was going (I thought she meant the thread)

Ah well, we must remember not to criticise the SNP and Nicola Sturgeon no matter which other politicians get it up them as Corporal Jones would say.

That, for those unaware, is from Dad's Army.

Storm in a teacup.

I am will repeat this. I am uncomfortable, with a poster being mocked, nothing else.
Whether you think she deserves it or not, it is not pleasant.
Absolutely nothing at all to do with the SNP element.

This one was pretty nasty….

It's just gobbledegook, sorry.

Maybe the poster will tell you what the last sentence actually said, then. And then you can decide if it was unpleasant or not.

*Ah well, we must remember not to criticise the SNP and Nicola Sturgeon no matter which other politicians get it up them as Corporal Jones would say*.

Once again it’s not the SNP criticism! It’s the delight in winding up Alegrias..

Oh for f***s sake.

I was not winding up Alegrias and she flounced (if she did) after my post about the thread being a joy.
So it must be my fault.

No-one was winding Alegrias up, she got herself in a tizzy right from the start when posters laughed at the daft proposals by the sacrosanct SNP and Sturgeon.

Anyway, I must go, I have another 47,365 pairs of socks to knit.

???????????????????????????

I'm certainly not saying it's your fault, Callistemon. It's the general mocking tone of some posters, which does not sit well with me.

Are classroom doors not also fire doors?

A good point.
Even if not, more space under them would mean less ability to hinder fire. Still, I suppose covid is a more immediate danger.

I wonder how much is intended to be chopped off the doors.
I was imagining about a third but maybe it's not so much as that?

I was not referring to you Callistemon. And I would not and did not report anyway.
There were however personal comments about being thrilled that the poster in question was getting riled.

I am glad I was not alone.

If I had seen any poster being thrilled that another was getting riled I would certainly have reported it. Winding someone up and causing them to"lose the heid" is the intention of trolls. If it was said as a provocative deliberately personal dig, then it definitely deserved reporting.

You must have missed them, then, Elegran. Have look at Chewbacca on page 2, wetting herself with laughter because Alegrias was getting upset.

I kept off this thread because it was obvious where it was going when posters very determinedly ignored clarification of the OP (which was, in fact, a LIE). If Alegrias had thought more carefully she would have kept off it too because trying to stop the pack in full cry is impossible.

Gransnet has over 50 forums. Plenty of opportunity to have a laugh and a giggle and bond over fake news without having to trivialise Politics threads...

MaizieD this story is not a lie

Plenty out there evidence

Yes and the fire service have told her she can’t do it because it’s a fire hazard. And we thought Boris was bad. I tell you since covid these ppl in power it’s gone to their heads. My grandkids have never had so many flu bugs or sickness with this wear your coats in class world going crazy

Have look at Chewbacca on page 2, wetting herself with laughter because Alegrias was getting upset.

Really MaisieD? Since I had a urostomy operation 4 years ago, I'm afraid that wetting myself is an all too common occurrence, particularly when my bag overfills. Thanks for pointing that out.

I had no idea that it was against GN guidelines to post anything negative relating to Ms. Sturgeon or the SNP?

The lie is the cutting the doors in half. And that's what everyone was attacking on...

Anyway. I've said my bit and I'm off to more sane topics, like winkling Johnson out of No 10 with a tank squadron...

Well you can dare to post info that casts a well deserved negative light on NS but have to prepare yourself for an onslaught from the usual suspects!

You really were, Chewbacca.

Thanks Nannashirlz.
I hope they go for more sensible ways of ventilating classrooms.

(There seems to be a bit of a punch up going on around us. Had you noticed?)

Stressing your point to again draw attention to my medical disability is pretty low MaisieD

It is totally out of order to continue the insult once you know of a posters disability.

No I did not say that at all.

How many times ??? That’s not the problem

Lucca obviously it is with some posters on GN.

I've seen far worse personal insults in other threads.

Really unpleasant.
